But in the world we live in, and the God I know/believe in defines goodness as loving your neighbor as yourself, treating others the way you want to be treated, feeding the hungry, giving drink the to thirsty, clothing the naked, etc... things like that. That is what He has established to be goodness. If killing babies was good, then the word "good" would literally have an entirely different meaningDo you read what you type?
Is it not a fact that some babies die which do not die by the fault of any living person? This either means that God is not good, God is not powerful enough to save babies, or God does not in fact share your definition of goodness. Are you going to tell us that little dead babies are going to live out eternity as angels? If so, with what personality? What will replace the egoes which they never had the chance to develop?
Clothing the naked? The Bible specifically tells Jesus followers not to worry about clothes, because they will be clothed by God. So look at the freezing poor. Where are the clothes that God promised?
I don't care much that you don't believe in the Bible. But if you think God is both powerful and good, then there is a world full of evidence which contradicts you. Or, to be blunt, you are more interested in maintaining your happy beliefs than in embracing reality. Nothing but your imagination supports your Pollyanna world view.
